An Arizona man claims he was sexually abused 30 years ago by a Penn State professor  and the university refused to investigate his claims.

Paul McLaughlin, now of Phoenix, says the abuse began when he was just 11 and lasted from 1977-81, with an education professor and two other predators targeting him.

The victim told ABC News that he made audiotapes in 2001 of conversations where Prof. Jack Neisworth admitted performing oral sex on him.

Although I had clear evidence of abuse by this professor, the university refused to act, charged McLaughlin. Last weeks arrest of Penn State coach Jerry Sandusky for the same kind of abuse suggests little has change

Penn State officials declined to comment on the allegations, according to ABC News.

McLaughlin went public with his charges as the mother of one alleged Sandusky victim told ABC News that the disgraced ex-coachs claims of innocence made her ill.

It sickened me, that he would be on TV, trying to downplay his charges, the mother said. And I think it made him look more guilty.

McLaughlin, 45, said he taped his talks with the nationally known Neisworth as he underwent therapy over the decades-old incidents.

In late 2001 and early 2002, McLaughlin said he sent copies of the tapes to university officials in an effort to launch an investigation  but was roundly ignored.

Neisworth was indicted for child sexual abuse in 2005 in Maryland, although the charges were dismissed for lack of evidence.

In 2006, the professor  without admitting any wrongdoing  reached an out-of-court settlement with McLaughlin in a lawsuit filed by the purported victim.

The professor is a well-known expert of child development, and has received acclaim for his work with autistic children.

My guess is, like our government, the colleges and universities, are cesspools of this kind of criminal behavior. Along with returning our government, at all levels, to principles on which the country was founded, we need to thoroughly investigate our “institutions of higher learning” as they have been the breeding ground for much of what is currently wrong in addition to being likely nuclei for sexual depravity.

I dream of the day when government gets out of the "education" business at all levels. In my ideal world, the assets of Penn State University would be sold to a private, Christian, Conservative institution such as Liberty, Bob Jones, Hillsdale, Grove City or -- of course -- Harding University. Go Bisons! :-)

MUST REMEMBER Souless predators are amazingly persuasive — and take pride in their ability to dupe people. They entice their victims by gaining their trust.......the same way they get people to cover for them. The judge’s leniency letting Sandusky go free is another sign WRT how easily predators dupe people-—into being their willing enablers.

Don’t be taken in by a charming, persuasive predator...and be able to overcome his enablers who would talk you out of reporting him.

REALTIME CAUTIONARY TALE It was recently revealed -—— an alarmed mother found Sandusky took her son out of class without her permission on three occassions. When she approached the school, she was told she was being unduly alarmed, b/c, she was reminded, “Jerry has a heart of gold. “

The mom insisted they call the police. But the braindead dupes talked her out of reporting it b/c “that would hurt poor Jerry,” they said.

Liz? Do you have a cite for that? It sounds like what was first said about Victim #1 but has since been refuted by some reliable sources. According to the State Attorney General, two of the coaches at the school immediately spoke with the appropriate officials as soon as the mother expressed a concern, and shared their own concerns. It was primarily their testimony, and not the mother's, that spurred the investigation.

Thanks.......if only we had a way to give the victims suppport without intruding on their privacy——to let them know we are with them......that it’s OK to tell.

Pedophiles are truly evil——particularly how they force victims to remain silent........ using coercion, threats, etc. Coercing victims into silence should be a separate charge against these monsters.......in, and of, itself.

This might be a dirty little secret... while the MSM and media culture has had a field day trashing the Catholic Church for its pedophiles and their defense, it looks like MANY organizations might have this problem, especially when you have men who have access and influence over young boys. Schools, colleges, charitable organizations. The potential scope is sickening.

Another disgusting and vile circumstance is that this pedophile creep sicko professor “works with” autistic children. A lot of people who “work with” disturbed children are in those professions to rape children.

I can’t wait to see the day when the punishment for raping children is execution. I’ll do a happy dance when the laws change, as they must.

As this whole Penn State thing unfolds, we will continue to be shocked by the evil that pervaded/pervades that instution. It seems that many of that instution need to be instutionalized, but in a prison...where they might become the punchees.

And long prison terms for their enablers...those who knew and did nothing to stop it. This should include those already fired, and those suspended at Penn State. And it is time to strip the school economically...kill the football program for at least 5 years.

"After her son told of the abuse he had received she suggested to both the consellor and principal that they should call the police immediately however they were reluctant to do so.

She said: 'I repeated the line three times. I said let's call the police right now. Let's do it. And they continued to stare at me.'

She recalled the principal telling her: 'Jerry has a heart of gold, he's been around all these kids and you really should go home and think about what this is going to do to your son and your family if you do that.'"

I'll tell you what, if it had been MY son and they tried that crap, I would have whipped out my cell phone and called the cops right there on the spot. My next call would have been to my lawyer to make sure the cops didn't try any funny stuff. Then I would be calling every agency I could think of, and I wouldn't have left that office until officers started showing up.

In the latest twist to the Jerry Sandusky alleged child sex scandal, it appears that one of the two new sexual abuse allegations we told you about yesterday was made by a family member of the former Penn State football coach.

Sanduskys attorney Joe Amendola told Sara Ganim of The Patriot-News that the allegations stem from difficulties within the childs immediate family, a statement he later confirmed to NBC News. He said the assault is alleged to have occurred prior to Sanduskys arrest earlier this month, but was not brought to the authorities attention until after the former Penn State coach was charged.

The Patriot-News is withholding the childs relationship to Sandusky to shield the childs identity.”

This and the other new allegation are being investigated by the state’s Children and Youth Services, which means the accusations are coming not from adults, but from children. Right now, there are eight other alleged cases mentioned in the Grand Jury report.

A ninth person reportedly came forward with allegations after Sandusky’s arrest on Nov. 5. In each

I can see hundreds of pages of crimes hereprobably the bulk of L/E should center on Spanier and Sandusky personally. However the finances of Sanduskys Seven Mile Foundation and Spaniers use of PS finances are probably a hotbed of pedophilia activities. The IRS has targeted non-profit foundations as the locus classicus for fraud-money laundering, tax evasion and other crimes.

......several questions demand answers: (1) Who granted Sandusky emeritus status after he retired in 1998? (2) Did Spanier and the Trustees approve his tenure? (3) Sanduskys tenure gave him the keys to the locker room...and free rein to commit atrocities on young young boys in the PS showers.......

Its a mistake not to connect ex-PS Pres Graham Spanier and Sandusky. These are two very calculated predatorsthey did not operate in a vacuum. They were very calculated in everything they did.

NOTE Graham Spanier was fired from the PS presidents job along with JoePa........but Spanier and his wife are still on the PS payroll as profs. Hmmmmmm.....looks like ol Graham used leverage to stay on the payroll. Betcha wife-swappin gay lovin Graham has some mighty interesting stories to tell.

Ex-PS president Graham Spaniers activities at Penn State (see more below) answers the one question on everyones mindhow did Sandusky got free rein in the PS showers with young boys? Did Spanier participate, as well? He certainly had an obsession with pederasty and moved hell and high water to give gay sex a foothold in PS.

MUST READ REFERENCE Paterno is getting the most attention, but FREEPER PA BOOKENDS posted this WRT Graham Spanier, the President  who was also fired.

Spaniers degrees are in sociology with a chosen emphasis on human sexuality  wife swapping, adolescent sex, etc. Spanier asserted he wanted to make PSU the most LGBT-friendly school in the country. Spaniers sponsorship gave Penn State the first gay fraternity in the nation. Under Spaniers leadership, Penn State sponsored the Tent of Consent - all about gay sex, as well as C*ntfest (shocker).

Now, shortly after his arrival, Spanier tried to get rid of the legendary Paterno. Why? The football program was bringing in tons of money. Paterno was (and remained) one of the LOWEST paid college coaches in the country. M/M Paterno donated millions to the University. Spanier lost the battle, but one has to ask: why was Spanier so eager to get rid of Joe??

It becomes clearer and clearer why Spanier was out to ditch Paterno-Spanier had to remove any and all obstacles in his path to solidifying Penn State as a protected pedophilia haven for Sandusky (and whoever else was involved in these heinous activities).

Now isnt that interesting-Spanier was approved for the presidents job DESPITE recommendations against it by those who knew of his push to normalize homosexuality. Those who voted to approve Spanier should also be investigatedthey are in deep, deep doo-doo. What did Spanier offer for a vote to approve him for the job?

As I have stated on other threads, this practice has gone on in the Bay Area of San Fran since the late 60s. The raping of little boys is considered a worthy and prideful goal of male homosexuals everywhere. It is part of the lifestyle no one talks about except open NAMBLA members.

Someone I know well got stuck in traffic in SF in the late 80s to 91, and had to witness a “Gay Pride” parade. He saw men wearing leather jock straps, collars, whips, assorted S&M paraphernalia, with little boys on chain leashes and collars around their necks, some getting rides on the perverts shoulders, some walking along.
